Trust and Respect Between Teens and Law Enforcement

What are the three basic types of encounters teens may have with law enforcement officers?

• Conversations

• Detentions

• Arrests

• All of the above

During a “detention”, if officer safety is an issue, officers may conduct a:

• Full search of the person

• “Pat down” search of the person

• Full search of the car

• None of the above

Incident to a lawful arrest, law enforcement officers may conduct a:

• Full search of the person

• “Pat down” search of the person

• Full search of the person and car

• None of the above

The most important strategy for having a safe and appropriate interaction with the

police is to:

• Just keep driving

• Be forceful and assert your rights

• Be respectful and calm

• Just not cooperate at all

Any person who intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent a law enforcement officer from lawfully arresting them can be charged with:

• A Class 1 Misdemeanor

• A Class 2 Misdemeanor

• A Class 1 Felony

• Nothing

Any person who fails to bring their vehicle to a stop after having received a visible or audible signal from a law enforcement officer to stop, can be charged with:

• A Class 1 Misdemeanor

• A Class 2 Misdemeanor

• A Class 6 Felony

• Either b or c

Providing false information to a law enforcement officer who is conducting a criminal investigation is:

• A criminal offense

• A funny practical joke

• A traffic infraction

• Not really harmful

If you are stopped by the police while driving your vehicle, you should

• Stop in a safe place

• Turn off the vehicle

• Put your hands on the wheel

• All of the above

If a law enforcement officer gives you a traffic ticket, you should:

• Refuse to sign it if you are not guilty

• Tear the ticket up

• Sign the ticket and leave

• Argue your point

If you believe the law enforcement officer has violated your rights, you should:

• Argue your point at the scene

• File a complaint later

• Escape if you get a chance

• Do nothing
